This original vintage U.S. Army musician’s hat insignia dates to the World War II era or earlier. It features a detailed lyre symbol centered within a laurel wreath, representing military music and honor. Constructed in stamped brass, it includes the original screwback fastener and stabilizing pin, a configuration common to early 20th-century U.S. military insignia.
This badge was worn on dress or parade caps by Army band members. The lyre-and-wreath design was issued from the early 1900s through WWII and unofficially used into the 1950s, making this a highly collectible piece of military history.
